Historic Districts

The City Council designates historic landmarks, historic districts, historic places and historic objects by city ordinance. Historic districts are geographic areas containing groups of older houses that are intact and unaltered. While each building may not be individually worthy of landmark status, collectively they preserve the visual qualities and ambiance of the past. Streetscape features, such as trees or light standards, may contribute to the historic value of the district.
